>Voices so high pitched it hurts>Typical MC bullshit>I can't really explain this one, but when an anime looks "dry" color-wise, just makes the entire thing uninteresting to me>MC about to confess, then something happens to ruin it before he finishes "Love"

>>100166687
aye fuck that shit.
and another thing that ticks me off even though it probably shouldn't>very attachful nee-san to such a degree that everybody thinks you're a couple>but you have to do extra your absolute best to get in her pants

what Im saying is that to those close to you, you have to do extra your best to get in a relationship with

also another thing ->sentences don't get finished>MASAKA, OMAE WA->moves to another scene>DEMO, KIMI WA>scene jump>OMAE.....>silence for 10 seconds while they stare at eachother>move to next scene

and weird breathing techniques, but almost every anime features it

like for example; when you're shocked, they breathe in then out first

what the fuck
why

there are a few more out there too but just that technique is just...why

>>100166980
This is a problem when the powers of characters in a series extend to "use big attack to kill" like in Bleach or something due to the fact that the attacks come from 'spiritual pressure' or some bullshit like that. It means that you can't have unique, original reasons why a character is strong beyond the fact that "that they have a lot of strength"

That's why I love JoJo, the powers of the Stands are often quite weird, meaning that you can give people the weirdest ability yet the main characters are still in danger. Like a guy who can make people age very quickly, because they don't know where he is on the train he is going to age them so much that their powers become trivial. Also the fact that JoJo has all the different parts means that it can avoid this "MC-kun just defeated a guy who can destroy a planet, therefore we must now give him a foe who can destroy a galaxy" bullshit.

>>100167426>Oh my, even after all these years this sentence alone does things to me.
me too. but its irritating just being toyed with like that and not expecting the teased person to have some kind of emotional need

>>100167687
no I like the grunts, I really live them, but there are some techniques they use are just..I don't know, weird. Not the kind of breathing you would do in that situation but then again its anime, maybe me be just being autistic

>>100165947>comic relief in otherwise dark anime's>characters that do nothing but provide comic relief while getting in the way>When they add a fantasy aspect/superpower to the story when it obviously doesn't need one>when said superpower takes significantly away from the story>endless explanations of superpowers>explaining how they're going to defeat their opponents power with some hidden power>constant screaming>always being about high school>"Then let me ask you something">constant talking during fight scenes

>>100167861>>constant talking during fight scenes
If anything,>Punches that should take 2-3 seconds to get dished take about half a minute or more while the character is talking>Suspended in the air while it happens

>>100168097
I'm not talking about "drama." I'm talking about people joking while there or someone is trying to kill them/just tried to. 10 seconds after a massive fight scene people should not be laughing a joking. FMA is a horrible example anyway, it's not that dark and the story is a 5/10 at best.

>>100168131
This. Have a relaxed scene instead of a funny one. People should not be joking while facing death. A small slice of realism would be nice from time to time.

>The girl is good at sports, top of the class, liked by everyone, "dynamite" body and pretty face and she is in love with the MC because he gave her a candy 10 years ago and the MC completely forgot about it.

>character B has a secret>character A figures out the secret later>even though there is no actually proof that character A is right, he just assumes he is and the story goes on>the writers expect us to not find it weird just because we know that he is right
I fucking hate this

>>100168503
I love both mediums and I can see where you're coming from, best thing to do is to just stop going to /a/ until you finished the anime/manga you were talking about, seems to be working for me, although people tend to spoil even though this board contains obscene amount of spoilers. /vp/ does it pretty good.

>>100168732
Reminds me of:>Never studying, always having bad grades and skipping classes a lot>"Your whole club wil be disbanded if you don't score at least as good as the average in the class".>Spends day learning with headband>Oh my god I made it, I scored 1-5 points more than the average

>>100168616>although people tend to spoil even though this board contains obscene amount of spoilers
yea, people on this board use spoiler tags for stupid things that aren't spoilers all the time (like you did) and never for actual spoilers.
Also because 99% of the time spoiler tags don't contain spoilers people just get used to looking at them anyways so that one time where they're used correctly they get spoiled

>Villain injuries, rapes, kills his friends and family>fight>mc wins>villain realizes he was wrong>mc and villain become best friends and continue to fight new stronger villains together, what happened before is never mentioned again

>>100169443
It's like>my parents died years ago and now I live by myself>I'm currently living by myself in a different city to go to school
It's just a cheap ploy to get rid of anything that doesn't directly pertain to the plot.

I hate it so much. Come on /a/, watch the OP, theorize where it's going get 80% right just because nips reuse the same referential quirks. Plot details spoiled in advance through what is seen and lyrics, really damn annoying. This is only ever and issue for originals.

I like endless drama and depression though. I always found FMA to be rather jarring with the comic relief. A good comic relief in those series is for me a good dose of black comedy and personalities that just mesh well with the scenario making the macabre hilarious.

Terrible adaptions. LNs/VNs cut short before things get going. I understand that they are basically advertisements for their respective products but it rarely does any justice to the original (even the really shitty LN adaptions are better as the LN).

Original works getting what is clearly not enough time. It's a business and all, but you are bound for failure if you set out with a plan then plot drop have hooks all over the place and it turns out you've not hit that magically quota the execs want to fund another run, even though the pay off won't be until that time has passed.

Just anime length in general, too fucking short. I don't want 200 episodes of dragging the cart, but 'the right amount' not cookie cutter time frames of 24*21mintes.

>>100165947>Unreasonably violent female characters
You know, the ones that hit anyone that does anything that makes them even slightly upset and it's supposed to be funny.....it's never funny>Scene where boy accidentally walks in on girl changing/showering and gets pummeled for it even though he apologized and it's really the girls fault for not locking the door
Seriously, I fucking hate this generic scene that shows up in so many fucking animes

>>100170305>Fate/Zero>Good Guys
The closest thing to a good guy in that anime was Emiya and he ended up getting his wish shit all over and became responsible for half a city getting blown up. I don't call that winning

>the MC is a high school kid and he falls through a portal or something into some fantasy land where he helps some small good country that is being invaded by the evil big country and the MC also has a magical power that nobody else in the fantasy land has. the MC also could probably have some hobby he is really good at like archery and in the fantasy land he is the best archer ever. Then there is some chick in the fantasy land who first acts really coldly towards the MC because she thinks he is just a show off. Then something happens and the MC ends up saving her or he does something really great and theres like a moment where theyre eyes meet and they look at eachother and almost kissu but then the wacky comic relief character which is some pikachu or chocobo knock off ruins the moment and the chick is like "baka!" and pushes the MC away. Then in the end they seal away some evil power or kill the evil wizard and they live happily ever after.

The burden of being a niche product. Though I do think backgrounds are improving fucking tenfold (at least for some series). Characters and clothing are still lacking as fuck and the use of CG makes anything with gravity or weight look really fucking corny, clearly some animators have never run through realistic scenarios of how fucking cars move and slow down without being jarring.

>>100170762
I don't really think he's any more or less powerless than anyone else in the series.
He often was their savior, and got treated like shit for it. His only real problem is that he cares too much what everyone else thinks. The moment he deviated from that, the whole world got fucked up and everyone ended up hating him for it.
I'd be a whiny bitch all the time too.

>>100170698
Maybe, but just once I'd rather not have a larger than life character go with world, but instead a guy who is all like "A world without my waifu is not worth living on".Then they leave the blasted landscape for an alien world to restart human civilization.

>>100170730
Not even close. Why do you think he was so obsessed with saving SOMEBODY from the fire? Destroying the grail didn't solve anything and he knew it. All he had left was the final desperate hope that he could save a single person from all that devastation.

>It is clearly and difinitively stated that that something is impossible to do>MC does it anyway with a really shit explanation like "because I have to" or "with the power of friendship and love and blah, blah, blah"
Seriously, stick to your own rules, if you write something as being impossible, don't have your characters fucking do it anyway!

>>100170869
Aside from that, wasn't Kirei's main goal at the point simply to fuck everything up? Like he wanted destruction or some shit?
Sounds like a pretty clear win for the.... other bad guys if you ask me.

>>100170730
Kiritsugu's goal was to save everyone's lives, not to destroy the grail. When he tried to use the grail to make this wish it was revealed that you can't save everyone or you'll just end up destroying everything. That is why he was so desperate to save just a single life after the grail exploded, he learned his lesson, you can't save everyone. He did not accomplish his goal, his goal was invalidated right before his eyes and his dream was crushed. He did not win

>>100168215
one of the reactions to almost being killed is laughter, or shitty jokes to try to relax.

Another one is a desire to have sex.

Another is PTSD

the list goes on. they just pick the one that is the easiest to use in this format.

I bet you would hate it if, after a major fight where the MC almost dies, he had awkward sex with his Love interest that kills that part of the story and drives said LI away for the rest of the series, which is mostly the MC trying to get over his crippling depression and fear of life due to his PTSD

>>100168215>I'm not talking about "drama." I'm talking about people joking while there or someone is trying to kill them/just tried to. 10 seconds after a massive fight scene people should not be laughing a joking. FMA is a horrible example anyway, it's not that dark and the story is a 5/10 at best.

It's the flaw of Japanese humor style, really. I don't know why this need for incredibly intrusive and out of place comedic relief moments. Hellsing was also particularly guilty of that.

I rather liked Shop Hero's take on it last season, though it was borderline fap material series than anything, I just wish there were more mature characters who reacted like that. Personal favourite of the reversal archetype is when one of the girls is the classical deprived horny one and somehow the MC shoots them down. One day, if only, the MC will take the sign and use it properly, no strings or drama attached.

>MC admires the school Madonna>she is beautiful, a genius, is always surrounded by her trope, walks around without much interest by what or who is nearby, always looking up snobbily>something happens that lets him meet her in private>she's very nice and compassionate, no arrogance or anything to her
Yeah no.

>>100171180
You don't get what I'm talking about. I tried to explain it the best I could already so I don't think I can do it any better this time.

>>100171339
That's a good way of putting it. The comic relief moments are just horribly out of place. Sometimes I just sit there watching something and think, "who the fuck thought this 15 second funny clip was a good idea."

I know we're all watching japanese cartoons here, but it'd be nice if they could have anime aimed at a more mature audience.

>godly OP/ED is replaced with another OP/ED halfway through the season>there's no major plot change that would require the OP/ED change and it was done simply because they could

>idealistic MC tells the edgy best friend to not kill the antagonist because then he'd be just as bad as him>edgy best friend listens>antagonist causes problems for everyone until he's killed later down the line
variant:>best friend kills the antagonist>best friend becomes antagonist until he's killed by the MC

>>100172392
But Japanese salarymen are consistently portrayed as forced to attend work "parties" where they must down as much alcohol as possible and yet remain lucid enough to pretend to be having fun.

>>100172583
They're just not used to drinking because they have a lower average body weight and most of their stuff is garbage, especially beer. A friend of mine is Asian and grew up in the US, she can drink native Chinese guys under the table.

>>100172641
Overall, it comes from their genetics - they actually have much lower alcohol tolerance than white people because of slight differences in liver enzyme balance or something in these lines.
Just as white people sometimes get people who get drunk after 1 shot, asians get people who can drink on par with slavs.
However overall asians have the worst alcohol tolerance, especially asian women.
You know what to do.

I don't really hate this, more like I'm sick and tired of highschool characters making adult decisions and being too mature for their age group, not to mention that I'm also sick of highschool settings in generall. That's one thing I apreciate SoniAni since it has a college setting instead I still know it's gonna be one of the shittiest shows of the season though

>story is very grounded with people doing realistic things>suddenly superpowered badass antagonist shows up>they stop him>story keeps going as if he never existed and never explains why he was powerful

>>100173314
You hate interesting side characters? Like, the MC can't be the world's most interesting man. Especially when the setting is school life, as it often is. Introducing interesting side characters is something you should like.

No, he was REALLY REALLY BAD. He was incredibly bad, mostly because he had no reason to be a total faggot. Also, he only got laid because he ended up raping a girl. (Technically, it wasn't even HIM doing it.)

>>100173565
Which is basically everthing anyway. Like, what's the deal. A 16 year old mind hasn't had enough time to gather all the knowledge that Hanekawa has. It's like she has a direct feed to wikipedia inside her head. It's disgusting.

>Rational thinking character gets the worst ending>Worst character gets the best ending>Author tries to make the protag look like a good person to be empathized with but in reality is actually a terrible person

>popular girl or guy walks into the classroom>"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

>Be a harem MC>only truly love one of the girls in your harem>can never get to be alone with her>every time you're together the others must follow>If you even try proclaiming your love to her the others will turn on you>The story will never have a proper conclusion >MC is trapped forever in an eternal straitjacket that is the harem

Seriously being a harem MC is hell. I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemies.

>Watch an anime that consistently made me laugh. JoJo, GTO, Gintama, whatever.>Excitedly recommend it to somebody.>Smugly crossing their arms, a smug look on their faces, "you thought that was funny?", smug smile.>They never watch it.>Two weeks later they recommend me some moe-shit.

>>100175156>imouto catches me watching Yuru Yuri>"what the hell is that, are you really this pathetic, brother?">she goes back to her Chinese Electric Batmans and other stuff>month later I catch my imouto watching Yuru Yuri s2

>>100174673
this is like all those ancient drawings from ancient egypt, the middle ages, etc.>This princess was well-known for being the most beautiful princess of her time>Drawing is just a fat short lady with a derp face, same as all other women in the drawing

>>100175156>friend tries to make me watch K-On! or Yuru Yuri>says that I'll grow to like moe if I give it a chance>sees me recommend a friend Madoka>"TOLD YOU, MOE SHIT IS FUCKING GREAT">he's never seen it before>thinks it's cute girls doing cute things>recommend it to him>he hates it

It's kind of fun sometimes, it helps that he's highly emotional and cries at the smallest thing. I've recommended to him Clannad because I want him to ignore me.

>>100167861
Index first season, touma is going to remove the seal in index. They are in a really small room, he starts running at her, and then follows about 3 minutes of talking and explanation while he is running.

We should archive this thread and send it to all the people who make anime. It'd be nice if they made anime's aimed at an adult audience. I'm 24 and have been watching anime since I was 9, I'm getting really tired of all this high school and hero of the world crap with the same themes being used over an over again.

>>100168812>Girl is heartbroken because MC doesn't remember their childhood marriage promise they made 90000000000 years ago>Story is sympathetic, treats MC like Hitler for not remembering marriage promise made 90000000000 years ago.

>>100168858
mfw I did a promise like that when I was in kindergarten
mfw I forgot and only remembered because I did it in front of everyone and they told me about it
mfw the grill remembered
mfw she is 2/10 max
mfw I have so many faces that I don't know what face I am doing now, so this should do it.

>>100168586>seemingly downer ending>everything fixed 30 seconds before last episode ends with no justification or explanation just so we get our happy ending
I like happy endings but this is kind of lame.

>>100167384
This
This is the biggest thing I hate in anime.
It's gotten to the point where I just simply won't watch it at all if it does this.
Especially if it involves the MC saying, "I just want to live a normal life!!"

>>100176026
would you like to suggest a better word for it? It keeps pissing people off and I really don't know what to use in it's place. The apostrophe shows possession but the word doesn't look right otherwise.

>>100176881>> Inconsistencies in powerlevels of characters i.e "MC gets hit by nuclear bomb and tanks it like a man. Next episode when hit by random punk #190814917 they grunt in pain"
Always irks me when characters in battle-shounen are afraid of falling heights not even 200m high, but can easily shrug off getting slammed into a wall at the speed of sound.
Also, Pikachu.

>>100168858
That is seriously what makes me fucking hate a lot of romances. And then when they introduce the "rival," both girls go "I'll be the one to take the MC!" pretending that he's some sort of property to have a fair fight over or some game to win. Like really. And then throughout the entire series "eh nandatte?" and MISUNDERSTANDING. How does japan stomach this shit?

>>100177616
it always makes me laugh when you see those summer episodes where everyone in the school is dying of heat exhaustion and then you see a thermometer that reads 28° C. But i guess having to wear a suit makes it harder

>>100177569
I find more problematic the way the girls fall for the MC. The MC can be fucking ignoring two of them for a whole year (because he's only interested in the main heroine) and they still chase him like bitches in heat, despite him being a spineless piece of shit character. But no, we can't allow any of the other girls have a relationship with other boys because beta otakus would feel threatened and betrayed by that.

>talking about sensitive information in a public place or an open room

Strike the Blood is good for this:

>on a crowded train>"Senpai, make sure not to let anyone know that you are the fourth progenitor.">surrounded by people with their bodies pressed together>"I shouldn't let people know that I am the fourth progenitor?">"Yes. That is information that can destabilize the entire world.">literally dozens of people within earshot>"I see. I will definitely conceal the fact that I, Akatsuki Kojou, am the fourth progenitor, the most powerful vampire in the world.">"Good. Don't let anyone know."

>>100177785
Most cities in japan are really hot even though it is 28ºC because they are surronded by sea, the air is heavy and very uncomfortable. I can't put it in words, but since the air is "wet" your sweat isn't refreshing you as it should.

>>100177832
I am actually fine with one of those, since they are in school, and most stories takes months, something is bound to happen. The problem is when everything happens during the 2 months MC transferred in/female lead transferred in.

>>100177971
Thank you, I forgot the word for it and it was giving me headaches for not remembering it.

>>100166687
It can work if the spoilers are subtle enough that you don't really notice until after the fact, then smack yourself on the head because they were there all along. It's not very common though.
